    Join Laurie and our Art Studio staff for a weekly drop-in art experience designed for MCM’s youngest visitors and their caregivers. Through open-ended & process-based projects, empower your little artist to freely explore materials and art-making with their senses. And the best part? We take care of cleanup!

    Today we’ll “make and take” creations created with simple cinnamon dough to celebrate the season. Please note, these are non-toxic but NOT edible! There is glue in the formula, so please smell but don’t taste.

    This event is free with general museum admission.
